The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
What really works is that this film knows what it wants to be: a heartfelt, family-friendly adventure set in a stylised world where everything seems safe (until the sky darkens). But even then, it never loses its optimism or sense of purpose. And for all its charm and lightness, it manages to weave in genuine human themes without forcing them. This is what gives me hope for the future of Marvel films. Even more so, it made me want to go back to the source. If the goal was to inspire new readers, consider it a success.

Adolescence - A Generation Unheard
This series is not just asking why a child did something so violent. It is asking how we have arrived at a place where such violence is even thinkable for a child. And it is asking what role parents, educators and society at large have played in that. It does not offer solutions. What the series does suggest, though, is that the solution starts with something simple: time, attention, and conversation. Do not let your child’s role models be online idols who offer no support or responsibility when things go wrong
